KNOSSOS Resource Report Resource Website 50+ mentions |
KNOSSOS (RRID:SCR_003582) | KNOSSOS | software resource | Software tool for the visualization and annotation of 3D image data and was developed for the rapid reconstruction of neural morphology and connectivity. By dynamically loading only data from the surround of the current view point, seamless navigation is not limited to datasets that fit into the available RAM but works with much larger dataset stored in a special format on disk. Currently, KNOSSOS is limited to 8-bit data. In addition to viewing and navigating, KNOSSOS allows efficient manual neurite annotation (''skeletonization''). KNOSSOS is being used mostly for reconstructing cell morphologies from 3D electron microscopic data generated by Serial Block-Face Electron Microscopy (SBEM), with an occasional application to 2-photon and confocal optical microscopy data. | reconstruct, neuronal morphology, connectivity, electron microscopy, windows, python, retina, neuron, morphology, serial block-face electron microscopy, visualization, annotation, 3d image | has parent organization: Max Planck Institute for Medical Research; Heidelberg; Germany | PMID:21743472 | GNU General Public License, v2 | nlx_157725 | SCR_003582 | 2026-09-12 12:56:00 | 51 | |||||||

TrackVis Resource Report Resource Website 500+ mentions |
TrackVis (RRID:SCR_004817) | TrackVis | data processing software, data visualization software, image analysis software, image processing software, image reconstruction software, software application, software resource, software toolkit | TrackVis is software tool that can visualize and analyze fiber track data from diffusion MR imaging (DTI/DSI/HARDI/Q-Ball) tractography. It does NOT perform actual fiber tracking. Diffusion Toolkit is a set of tools that reconstruct diffusion imaging data and generate fiber track data for TrackVis to visualize. Because these two sets of tools were developed and maintained separately and each has distinguished funtionalities, they decided to distribute them as two separate programs for the ease of maintenance and upgrade. You do need both of them to perform complete diffusion data processing and analysis. Features of TrackVis include: * Cross-platform. Works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux with native look and feel. * A variety of track filters (track selecting methods) allowing users to explore and locate specific bundles with ease. * Multiple rendering modes with customizable scalar-driven color codes. * Real-time parameter adjustment and 3D render. * Open format of the track data file allowing users to integrate customized scalar data into the track file and visualize and analyze it. Save and restore scenes in XML style scene file. * Statistical scalar analysis of tracks and ROIs. * Synchronized real-time multiple dataset analysis and display allowing time-point and/or subject comparison. Synchronized analysis and display on same dataset can also be performed in real-time remotely over the network. * Upfront in-line parameter adjustment in real-time. No tedious pop-up dialogs. TrackVis works with Track File created by Diffusion Toolkit. Diffusion Toolkit processes raw DICOM, Nifti format and ANALYZE images. TrackVis and Diffusion Toolkit are cross-platform software. They can run on Windows XP, Mac OS X as well as Linux. | mri, dti, diffusion spectrum image, diffusion imaging, image reconstruction, diffusion mr fiber tracking, visualization, analyze, c++, console (text based), dicom, fiber tracking, image reconstruction, linux, macos, microsoft, magnetic resonance, nifti, posix/unix-like, tractography, visualization, win32 (ms windows), windows |

Scalable Nucleotide Alignment Program Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
Scalable Nucleotide Alignment Program (RRID:SCR_005501) | SNAP | software resource | A sequence aligner software program that is 10-100x faster and simultaneously more accurate than existing tools like BWA, Bowtie2 and SOAP2. It runs on commodity x86 processors, and supports a rich error model that lets it cheaply match reads with more differences from the reference than other tools. This gives SNAP up to 2x lower error rates than existing tools and lets it match larger mutations that they may miss. SNAP also natively reads BAM, FASTQ, or gzipped FASTQ, and natively writes SAM or BAM, with built-in sorting, duplicate marking, and BAM indexing. | windows, linux, os x |

Subject Order-Independent Group ICA (RRID:SCR_009514) | SOI-GICA | software resource | While the traditional temporally concatenated Group ICA (TC-GICA) adopting three steps of PCA reduction, it could result in inconsistent and variable components when different subject orders were used, both for the group- and individual-level results. Such instability can further cause instable and thus unreliable statistical results. Subject Order-Independent Group ICA (SOI-GICA) aims to fix this problem by producing stable and reliable GICA results. For details please see the paper Subject Order-Independent Group ICA (SOI-GICA) for Functional MRI Data Analysis (Zhang et al., 2010, NeuroImage)(http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.03.039).
